Yeah, but not for the genre FU would be in. PC's bread and butter is RTS, MMO and Harcore RPG right now. Even FPS's are dominated by consoles in today's market. Now try making it for only high end PC's and you've eliminated 980% of you possible market. Crysis didn't fail because of piracy, it failed because no one could play the damn game.

I agree 100% with you on Crysis. Crysis was so ridiculously high spec'ed that I didn't even want to buy it (plus they didn't optimize it very well which made it run less than stellar on good rigs). I'm not saying that FU should require that much horsepower, no game should. You can make a damn fine looking/performing game that requires half of Crysis' requirements.

And I believe that Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy did very well on PC which are very similar games. Granted they came out years ago...

And I have to say yes. I don't get upset very easily. Get dumped by GF, whatever. Get a D on an exam, eh... Star Wars abandoning PC, that crosses the line. :-P

and yeah, i agree with the whole jedi outcast games, i played them on PC and really liked them, and would definitely purchase FU if it came out for PC.

THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!

(what's the force unleashed again?)

I've never cared much for PC gaming really, outside of World of Warcraft.

Just kidding; don't care.

Star Wars video games....whhaaat? For real? They have those? So that's what Episode 1's pod racing scene was for...to sell video games. Doh!

Seriously though, Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast kicked ass. That was hands down the coolest game I ever played...once you got past the first 5 levels that is. Whoever thought it would be a good idea to try to make 5 levels of FPS before getting your light saber needs to have their balls force griped.
